The Bedouin
I am having the hardest time fighting the Bedouin, and the Egyptian campaign in general. I have it on vh/h. I try to group my military into large one unit armies, so I'm kind of spread out. I pretty much blew through the Mamelukes capturing all the Nile adjacent regions. Then I recruited a full stack of Bedouin militia that are immune to the desert's attrition to send out to their capital Southwest of Cairo. But even with my standard armies of line infantry, cavalry, light infantry, and cannons, they have a tough time overcoming a full stack of camels; so as you can imagine, that full stack of Bedouin militia got stomped. They always find a way of flanking me, and due to the large amount of sucky troops I can't get the full effect of their firepower because they usually charge through the center and overwhelm my troops. The militia is pretty much useless in hand to hand combat, especially against their melee foot soldiers. The militia also has low accuracy so a full volley only kills about 10 camels out of 45 of one unit. I need help, please!
